The Mercedes-Benz C-Class is preparing for a facelift, which will probably debut in 2025. as a model for 2026. Against the background of the already familiar design decisions of the brand, some key updates are expected that will make the car even more attractive to the modern consumer. The designers of the Motor1.com resource presented their vision of how the restyling of the model could look.
The front will receive new LED optics, the design of which will draw inspiration from the new CLA. The main accent will be the star-shaped headlights, combined with the radiator grille in the style of the E-class. The grille will feature black trim, chrome elements and an updated shape that will give the car a more modern look.
At the rear, the changes will be less radical, limited to new graphics for the lights and slight adjustments to the bumper to maintain the model's recognizability. The interior will also undergo a number of improvements. It is expected to use premium finishing materials and upgrade the infotainment system to meet modern technological standards.
These updates are likely to increase the comfort and quality of interaction between the driver and passengers with the car. As for the technical part, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class will most likely retain the current engine range, which includes mild hybrids on gasoline and diesel.
The power of these units will range from 204 to 408 horsepower, providing a wide choice for different categories of buyers. Plug-in hybrid versions could get an increased range on electric power, which would be a significant step forward in the context of electrification.
The AMG versions are attracting special attention. The current C 63 AMG is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine, which together with the hybrid system produces 680 hp. However, due to the mixed reviews of such an engine, there is a possibility of returning to a six-cylinder engine, which could be a compromise between power and traditional AMG dynamics.
